MTNA Boosts Production at Madison Plant by 25%

Marangoni Tread North America has increased Ringtread production at its Madison, Tennessee Alpha-Ring manufacturing plant by 25 per cent. The company reports this greater production will accommodate both domestic and global growth. Specifically, 14 per cent more Ring moulds have been installed at the Madison facility in order to handle North American market growth and provide better service to the North American Ringtread dealer network. On top of this, the Madison plant is now shipping Ringtreads to other global markets, and further expansion is scheduled for next year.

Marangoni Tread North America reports sales 12 per cent up on 2007 through the first half of the year. The company attributes this increase to fleet customers demanding added value from their tyre programmes and appreciating the value to be gained from retreading.
